STILLNESSBody-mind meditation/The Art of Allowing is a menu of practices designed to draw together body, mind and spirit so that these work together in harmony.
It uses key themes, such as relaxation, movement, sound, healing and - most impor­tant - breath awareness. These are used to promote stillness of body and mind, leaving the practitioner open to living and praying in a more holistic way.
This approach to spirituality will appeal to those who find the pace of life too fast, or who find themselves stressed or exhausted.
A key principle is that breathing is not something that we own - but is a gift, given to us anew in each cycle of breath, without any effort on our part.http://bodymindmeditation.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=52&layout=blog&Itemid=81

It consisted of just two words, “Live deliberately!”. Over the years he had pondered the advice of that elderly Archbishop. They had prodded him out of complacency and comfortable routine. People sometimes say things like, “I always watch the nine o’clock news and weather forecast” or, “we go to Marbella for golf in May”. For those who live deliberately there is no “always”.

http://bodymindmeditation.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97:use-your-distractions&catid=52:stillness&Itemid=81{jb_brownbox} Meditation is like a journey, but a journey that you are always beginning. It's value does not consist in feelings of relaxation or inner peace, or a totally stilled mind. What counts is being faithful, irrespective of how dry or distracted you find yourself. {/jb_brownbox}]]>bialli@interia.pl (Administrator)STILLNESSWed, 24 Nov 2010 12:36:17 +0000PRAYER OF THE HEARThttp://bodymindmeditation.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=91:prayer-of-the-heart&catid=52:stillness&Itemid=81
http://bodymindmeditation.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=91:prayer-of-the-heart&catid=52:stillness&Itemid=81The “Jesus Prayer”, also known as the “Prayer of the Heart” dates from the earliest centuries of Christian history. However, it was little known in the West until the publication around 1925 of The Way of a Pilgrim. The nineteenth century Russian pilgrim who authored this book wrote about his discovery of the secret of uninterrupted prayer. As he wandered on his pilgrim route, he recited a form of the “Jesus Prayer” in his heart many thousands of times each day. The words he used were: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner”.
